EZBlocker is currently un-supported.
EZBlocker is a simple-to-use ad blocker/muter for Spotify. EZBlocker will attempt to block ads on Spotify from loading. If an ad does load, EZBlocker will mute Spotify until the ad is over.
There are no fancy features, just pure ad blocking. When an ad is blocked, only Spotify is muted, so no other sounds will be affected. EZBlocker aims to be the most stable and reliable ad blocker for Spotify.
There's no setup required - just drag it into any folder and run. To upgrade your EZBlocker, simply replace the executable file.

FAQ
Why is my Spotify is permanently muted?
There may be issues with EZBlocker muting Spotify on your computer. You can manually modify your Spotify's volume by opening the Volume Mixer.
How do I block banner ads?
Check the "Block Banner Ads" box to enable banner blocking. Enabling and disabling this feature requires you to run EZBlocker with administrator privileges.
Does EZBlocker block video commercials?
EZBlocker will mute videos but not prevent them from playing. If you don't want video ads, make sure you keep your Spotify minimized.
Why does my anti-virus say EZBlocker is a virus?
The latest version of EZBlocker may be picked up by a few anti virus programs. This is most likely due to the way EZBlocker disables Spotify's ads. If you do not feel comfortable downloading the executables directly, feel free to view the source code and compile it yourself.
How do I donate?
I don't accept donations for EZBlocker. I would rather you spend your money on Spotify Premium. If Spotify Premium isn't offered in your region, I suggest donating to a non-profit such as the Tor Project.
Is EZBlocker open source?
Yes it is, and I encourage all to contribute. The source & technical description is available on Github.

Thank you so much!! Its all I have to say 😀
Letters option is not working when EZBlocker is enabled!
i just left a comment about AVG antivirus not allowing Ezblocker to work, i found the component that stops the ezb – it is “link scanner” , “protects you from web-based attacks, also checks network traffic for possible threats”, disabling this module in AVG gets ezb to work, Eric it would be nice if you could look into this ..
Confiermed, I have the same behaviour. AVG Antivirus (registered) tampers with EZBlocker.
creates an exception in AVG antivirus
Advanced options, with that deveria enough …
i just disabled that Link Scanner module in AVG and ezblocker works now
I have had a problem with ezblocker showing “Loading….” in the status bar, but then i somehow figured out that my antivirus AVG Free doesn’t let ezblocker+spotify connect, because disabling real-time protection gets Ezblocker to work as it should, but enabling protection gives the same “loading…” message … i’ve tried to put both ezblocker and spotify folders in exception list, but it doesn’t help, so there should be another process that is blocked by antivirus software .. :/
When I open EZBlocker, it just says loading… at the bottom, this ocurs with version 1.6.7/0 and 1.5.1.4 and doesnt block ads.
As to the error ‘Error hooking Spotify.’”Please restart EZblocker after starting Spotify’ – I’m having this pop-up all the time ( in the background on my desktop ) but then I simply left it like that and… it works as before and scrobbles with no problems. Thx for updating!
Please make a linux version!
But also adds are getting through for 1 second before they are blocked.
Works perfectly. No it feels like I have Spotify Premium. Good Job
